prophecy . . . Cincinnati, Ohio June 7, l96I Dear Dave, Thought I'd drop you a line to let you know what all the grads of T. P. '5l are doing these days. I just returned from a trip to Hollywood, where Bebe Williamson is thrilling everyone with her heavy dramatic roles. Dianne Cady is also doing well as the queen of Class B opera houses. While out there, I SGW a picture of Bert Muscles Argo. He's being featured in advertisements on the back covers of several outstanding detective magazines, which incidentally are edited by Penny Roose. On the return trip I stopped by in Phoenix, Arizona, and met Bill Sommer. Bill is raising pet turtles on his reptile farm iust outside town. Elizabeth Phil- hower is his partner in this venture. Also in town are Mary Hebble and Clarerie Thompson, who have taken up nursing as a career. I stopped in Indianapolis on Memorial Day to see the speedway race. Met Ruby Fisher, who was in charge of concessions there. She had Virginia Hines and Mary Gibson as two of her assistants. You probably heard that the race was won by Bill Ratliff. Bill was driving the Ratliff Special, owned and cared for by his sister, Lois. Gary Bowen also drove in the race, but finished a poor last. Gary always was much better at flying than at driving. Up in Oxford, O., the students are all clamoring to join the fabulous sorority, Sigma Mu, founded by Dot McConnell and Ruth Barnett. A Peg Williams and Joyce Money now operate the bowling alley in Milford, while Ronnie Halbauer is right down the street running a dentist's office. He has Dorothy Wells as his secretary and assistant. Norman SmiIey Wright and I are still working in that little combo in Paul White's nite club. Norm's hot trumpet can be heard for miles. Write me a note if you have heard from any of the rest of the old gang. Yours truly, D. S. page forty-eight New York City, New York June ll, I96I Dear Dick, b I iust received your letter of the 7th and thought you would like to hear some news I've picked up about the Parkers of 'Sl . Strange as it may seem, the technician back of my show is Louis Strauss. And did you see the Nancy Chapman Show last night? She's taken over Ruth Lyon's old spot. Her vocalist is Addie Martin, who specializes in blues singing. Two of our former classmates, Barbara Beets and Mary Jo Havens, are tortur- ing the nation by writing iingles for Proctor 84 Gamble. Rumor has it that Elizabeth Bristle and Bill Robinson are going through life trimming trees together. Also doing a good iob holding up the home front are Freda Litton, Thelma McCollum, and Mary Jane Van Camp. Home Ec is coming in handy for them. What do you think. of President Riedel's new reform bill? I happened to be in Congress the other day when he tried to get it voted upon. But one Congress- man didn't like it and set a new record for the fillibuster. Someone said his name was Bob Werner. The only thing that stopped him was a bunch of high school kids from Ohio on a trip to the Capital. And taking it all down without a mistake was Ray Cross, recently appointed Congressional Recorder. Two of the secretaries in the Pentagon are Shirley Adkins and Betty Chandler. I hear they use up an average of 8 pencils a day. I was looking at the sports page over my cup of coffee this morning and happened to notice the box score of the championship pro-basketball game. One team was led by a combination of Rich Massman and Rolf Shorty Dority. But the star of the game turned out to be Jesse Applegate, who sank a left handed, under-hand shot from the center of the circle to win the game in the final seconds. There was also an article about the Madisonville All-Stars' hard-driving fullback, Black Russ Ratterman. The racing news had a lot about the big race between the country's two leading jockeys, Valdean Morris and Dick Smith. The recently named Horse of the Year was owned and trained by some obscure millionaire. His name, William Purvis, Esq., was vaguely familiar. . I hear you and Norm got offers to play in the Jazz at the Philharmonic Show. Good Luck! Sincerely yours, D. R. P. S. Gayle Crawford's still trying to get out of debtor's prison. Guess she never did pay for the Annual.

Led by Halfback Bill Johnson, who scored a total of 130 points, and Co-captains Dick Massman and Dave Rawnsley, the Bulldogs smashed 8 opponents while tieing Harrison and losing to Taylor, the eventual county champs. This record enabled the Terrace Park boys to tie Harrison for second place in the IO-team Hamilton County League. During the season the squad averaged 35 points a game as compred to 7 for the opposition. page lilly The high point at the season was reached when the Bulldogs traveled to Milford on November l7 to meet a highly touted Eagle eleven. The game wasn't even close as T. P. won, 47-6, over their traditional rivals. At the close ofthe season .lohnson and Rawnsley were selected by the coaches in the league to the League All-Star team. Rawnsley was named to the first string All-City team picked by the Times-Star and Johnson was placed on the second team. f
